Yankeetorial: It's not the time to be pissing off umps


To the Yankiverse,

It's mid-September, the trees are turning, the Giant offense can't score touchdowns, and our hold on first place is safe and secure. (... and if you want to keep your family safe and secure...)


This is the time to try Vietnamese cuisine, pitch Josh Towers and rejoice over the new TV shows that will soon give life meaning.

This is the time to contemplate October.

This is no time to piss off umps.

We need the wonderful Boys in Blue. We should be sending them gift baskets. We should forward funny jokes to them on email. Now and then, we should text them, "THKNG OV U!"

We should learn where their aging parents live, and where their children go to school.

We should call them late at night to say we know where their aging parents live, and where their children go to school. So they will know we're watching out for them.

If their car breaks down because something happened to the battery, we should show up suddenly with jumper cables.

Are we on the same page here?

Are we thinking about October?

Fine. This is no time to be pissing off umps.

    Maybe Girardi had some bad Vietnamese food.

    Maybe John can make those late night calls. It would be an extra thrill for the umps to hear his voice.
